- Abstract
This research was motivated by the learning difficulties experienced by students in the Microbiology Subject that caused their learning competence to be relatively low. This research aims at describing the factors that caused learning difficulties experienced by UNP biology students in the Microbiology Subject. This research was a descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The population in this research was the microbiology lecturers and UNP biology students who had studied the Microbiology Subject. The sample in this research included 2 microbiology lecturers and 4 biology students obtained by a purposive sampling technique. The data collection techniques used were interviews, observation and documentation study. The results showed that students had learning difficulties in the Microbiology Subject that caused by internal and external factors. Internal factors are lack of curiosity, motivation and interest of students in learning microbiology, lack of preparation and readiness of students in presentations and lack of student skills in using foreign language references in the form of text booxes and scientific journals. External factors in the form of learning resources, learning resources owned by students are not appropriate with the subject of the syllabus so students often use reference sources in the form of blogs that have not been validated.
